Wonderful piece—tons of interviews with people complaining about the changes, yet no interviews with people in support. And yet the authors mention (almost embarrassedly) that it's the fastest selling title in WotC's history.

Clearly a lot of people like this change—and it's a great change! Yet the authors didn't feel like talking to any of those people, instead repeatedly coming back to Musk's whining. Great journalism 10/10 no notes.

Why? It’s in the EUs interest to not create horror stories about what happens when a country joins. It makes a lot more sense to make Iceland decide on the timeline for adopting the Euro themselves, so the transition is more likely to be smooth. And this is exactly what the policy for adopting the Euro has been.

A shock therapy Euro adoption is not in the interest of anyone.

and yet the history of ideas is shaped by and often labelled according to "tribalism".

i am talking about an actual idea. an actual idea that happens to fit much more nicely into one political worldview than another. an idea that is repeated much more often by people who hold that worldview than by people who do not. an idea that is more or less demonstrably false.

so i am talking about both the (false) idea and the fact the it is an idea that continues to be talked about (despite its falsehood) by a particular group of people. that can be a meaningful conversation even if you don't like it.

This is extremely obvious in the new FIDO specification for key export, where they neglect to specify the format in which the private keys are encoded.

In other words, it's a "standard" designed to let Apple, Google, and Microsoft enable portability between each other, but to keep software like KeePass out of the mix.
I use proton pass and have the same issues as the author. Whenever macos/ios is in the mood it lets me use it to store passkeys, else it is an endless maze of bugs and confusion. Proton pass supports passkeys but the OS does not always let it communicate with the website.
What a comedy of errors. So they screw over their paying customers without any notice and now suddenly they are acquired ? I love capitalism but the way Bench handled this is a disaster and left so many customers unsure of what to do. Especially at year end when accounting becomes even more critical. Shameful.

Does Kick integrate with my existing quickbooks?
Yes, this definitely needs to be fixed!

Besides passkeys, some websites have alternative backup authentication, though, such as backup codes. However you do it, there should be an independent way to log in.
Setting up both Apple and Google passkeys solves:

* Lost access to your Google account, but still have access to your Apple account (or vice-versa)

* Apple device doesn't support Google passkeys, or vice-versa

But it multiplies the following downsides:

* Apple/Google account gets hacked, hacker gets all your 2FA credentials

* Snooping on your activity. Particularly Google, but Apple also have an advertising business.

* Setting up accounts on new sites is twice the hassle.

* Too complicated for the kind of folks who need the phishing protection passkeys provide.
> I don't think that's true for their VR/MR hardware.

They literally record the cameras and 'screen', then send it off to their servers.

The VR hardware absolutely spies on you. Even if you tell it not to, it still shows up in the mobile app.
> instead of forbidding those things entirely, it just makes them uncomfortable

The details in the linked articles rise well above merely "uncomfortable" though. If your response was appropriate, we wouldn't be here discussing them. In particular the interaction between the borrow and aliasing analysis is something I hadn't thought of before, and seems terrifying.

This gets back to my earlier point. The Rust community seems to have abandoned introspection for orthodoxy. You say something interesting about it, and the response comes back as a canon incantation about why Rust is always right. But there are interesting criticisms to be made, people just don't want to hear them it seems.

(In particular the bit about "you can't write dlist in safe rust" routinely seems to surprise people, even reasonably expert Rust developers, I talk to in real life. The flock's dedication to the borrow checker apparently means that no one is allowed to discuss or think about the places where it can't work!)
There has been much debate since this was written, but not much movement towards a consensus.
> The industries can't build platform independent anymore.

The rest of your comment stems from that one sentence which is an unfounded assertion built upon an unstated assumption. If you really believe that then this conversation is irrelevant because the platforms are, generally, private commercial enterprises that should modify their terms and delete your accounts as necessary to increase their revenue while you have given up even imagining alternatives.

If you are only a marketing person completely void with any technical competence then you absolutely need platforms to tell you what your priorities are, otherwise you can always self host.

> If you view the US as a hostile power, then yes the same - to some degree - applies to Tesla.

Times change. Your allies of today are your foes in a decade. You don't know.

Still, there's billions and billions of spying devices and US-controlled electronics.

And I'm not making this up, we know for a fact NSA has put backdoors and hacks in both commercial routers and chips that are used everywhere in the world.

Yet you americans think it's fine if you do it, and it's also fine to speculate about other countries maybe doing it, and going into these crazy scenarios where Chinese EVs start ramming people.

Give me a break.

Such comments do nothing but remind me that US exceptionalism, the idea that the US can play by a different playbook is a huge danger and menace to world peace. It will keep pissing off allies and non-allies alike.
The comment I replied to was implying that the positives were oversold, but to my read didn't really mention any negatives. What negative consequences are you talking about? Currently your framing makes it seem even better: some (IMO) substantial positive consequences, and no negative ones.
TOTP suffers from a similar issue - I use 1Password to store my TOTP codes, but both Google and the UK's HMRC tax website talk about using their own apps for codes rather than anything agreed like "one-time passwords". The digital world is rife with this kind of jockeying for position through language. It took me far too long to understand that "podcasts" are just mp3 files from an RSS feed.

Likewise, in the heyday of interactive TV in the early 2000s, when it was going to conquer the world because everyone had a TV but not a computer, an agency I worked for were invited for a demonstration of a choose-your-own-adventure game they were developing. They kept referencing a "carousel system" where all pages were sent in a looping system and when someone made a choice it waited until that page came round in the "carousel". I kept asking whether that was like Teletext - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext - but they absolutely refused to say that and kept saying "well, it's a carousel system".

This refusal to deal in everyday language, alongside trying to get people to use their own apps / sytems, really hinders the adoption of useful technologies.
The idea has been refuted by others over a period of several decades.

At this point, it is more interesting that one political worldview still seems quite attached to the idea than the idea itself, which has been clearly shown to be false.

It's quite analogous to trickle-down theory aka the laffer curve. Shown to be false multiple times over the last few decades. Still promoted by people of one particular political worldview and not others.

That's the story here. The idea has been refuted, why are people still talking about it?

Your first citation [0] does not actually provide evidence for the claim that the US government is engaging in IP theft and passing that IP to US companies - spying on a defense minister (even though it's something that shouldn't happen given that the US and France are allies) is categorically different, and is something that you would expect countries to do (even if be disappointed at them) for defense and strategic purposes only, without any IP theft. You'd need additional evidence to indicate IP theft.

Your second citation [1] links to no sources and makes the massive error that the NSA is a department of the CIA. I don't think that it's trustworthy, although I can look up the story later and if I find other sources we can see if it's plausible.

> Perhaps more importantly, you have to assume that every intelligence agency in that same group are constantly (re)compromising and extending their foothold in their peers' communications systems as much as they can.

Yes, I think this is a reasonable assumption - I'm not saying that it's right, but it's reasonable. However, that's still categorically different from the IP theft being discussed, in the context of being able to trust your knowledge workforce and having good cyber security.

Thanks for the analogy to the Great Game, this is interesting!

Closed loop. Seriously, my t1d-related mental exhaustion is 90% reduced now that I'm using a closed loop. 95% if you don't count the "why did androidaps disconnect from my pump and which bit do I need to restart to get it working again" headaches.

In a way it's eliminating too much mental effort; while it's useful as a backup, the fact I sometimes completely forget to take insulin with meals is not ideal, even if the closed loop notices and takes care of it for me (since there's inherently more lag when relying on the loop than if I dialed in the insulin at meal time).
That's misleading. If the company doesn't provide insurance, they can choose whatever insurance they want (it will not be tax deductible, which may impact its affordability).

No, democracy isn't about that. It's about respecting other people's choice - which I do.

I respect the Brexit vote - I still think anyone who voted for it is missing brain cells in critical parts of their brain - these two things aren't mutually exclusive.
Doesn't Apple primarily want the best user experience, and the safest way to use devices? So they should get onboard with what is best for the user.
I specifically said I don’t judge others for working there now and just wanted to add to the conversation by explaining how my thoughts changed over time. I do not think I was or am brave for any of my career decisions.

I was 20 when I started working in big tech and the reputation of those companies was at its absolute peak. I had a lot to learn.
The NHS is far from perfect (and was already far from perfect before the Tories spent a decade and a half making it worse) but given you -can- get private health insurance in the UK if you want it, IMO it's best to judge the NHS as 'universal basic healthcare' and accept that at that scale it's always going to suck sometimes but it's still better to have access to such a thing than not.
Maybe we don’t actually need perfect solutions.
“Huh, wonder why that didn’t autofill this time.” Person copy/pastes password from manager into phishing site.

Browser extensions do not prevent copy/pasting, or typing in, passwords. In contrast, there is no way to copy/paste or type in a passkey if the phishing site fails the key check.

Now you might say that YOU have the discipline to never do this. And it might be true. But that’s not the same as saying autofill passwords are not phishable.
Sounds like they are not afraid to use AI already, which will give them an unbeatable edge when the LLMs improve.

I think one of my personal issues with allowing Meta to access these private APIs is that they may not take "don't allow" for an answer.

I have WhatsApp to talk to some family and I recently disabled allowing all contacts in iOS 18. WhatsApp now has a persistent notification at the top of messages to "Allow All Contacts".

If Apple allows users to choose whether or not to give Meta access, and users choose "no", Meta can lock them out of the service entirely (e.g., "you can't use this Meta Quest headset without allowing access to your messages").

That being said, Apple is definitely fighting for its own interests here as well. It would obviously benefit them to sell their own watches, headsets, earbuds, etc.

Have the safety statistics been standardized, though? I vaguely remember articles about Waymo doing their own after-action reports and sanitizing their accident data to only keep those accidents that they felt a human would have avoided. This creates all sorts of data quality problems related to subjectivity and bad incentives. We wouldn't accept throwing out drunk-driving stats under the guise that a sober driver wouldn't have made that mistake. This says nothing of the differences in environments that can be used to game safety stats.
...hasn't thought about it or about how to cope.

Or maybe they have thought about --- and intend to deal with it in pretty much the same way as all their predecessors.

Bluesky is up to their ass in venture capital funding. Ignoring this fact and presuming some viable, unknown/unspoken alternative exists to defy the forces of capitalism they are in bed with is unreal, and an unreal premise never leads to insightful conclusions.

Because using mass surveillance you can provide better service. That's a fact you can't argue with.
It seems to me that the modern American way is duopoly. You have unlimited free market capitalist choice: you can choose Google or Apple, Walgreens or CVS, Lowe’s or Home Depot, Kroger or Walmart, Uber or Lyft, Cox or Centurylink, Ford or Chevy. It’s like a cosplay free market.

It feels like everywhere at all times, people are playing dirty to protect their cash flows, doing anything they can get away with to keep new entrants out of markets. They even weaponize it against other giants, too (eg JEDI, or wielding the EPA against SpaceX).

This doesn’t seem like a failure of capitalism to me, but a failure of government. Not that the government failed to regulate, no; that they were explicitly captured in such a way that results in regulation that ensures nobody except the existing, connected players can participate.

If you want to have even a tiny chance to edge in, you have to be backed by immense capital and be connected with someone who can put in a word with the right people. In tech, VCs like YC or a16z or the so-called PayPal mafia come to mind.

Innovation, but only via undocumented, preapproved channels.

It’s illegal or effectively illegal to make new pharmaceutical factories, or new retail pharmacies, or new hospitals, or new financial services and payment systems, or new banks, or new safe deposit boxes, or transit services, or ISPs, or schools, or any myriad other verticals that have been regulated to oblivion for entrants in the name of “consumer safety”. If search engines or public libraries were invented today they’d be shut down in days, perhaps hours. Even Tesla fought the biggest uphill battle to be able to sell cars direct to consumers, as it was outlawed in many states.

I really want to see orders of magnitude more new small businesses, but the American population seems to be regarded as a resource to be harvested rather than an economic talent pool to be developed.

Everyone wants more mom-and-pops, except the existing ownership class, because they aren’t on SecondMarket.
I haven't watched the Rings of Power though I have seen enough YouTube analyses of it to know I don't want to. I think the issue with it is that they spent $1bn on it, so you'd think they'd make sure the story and action scenes were top notch, not middling cliche.
Not OP and not the answer you're looking for, but FWIW I own a ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1 (design is kinda similar to the X9) and literally everything works perfectly OOTB. You can even update every piece of updatable firmware from Linux (via fwupd), so there's zero reasons to have a dual-boot Windows on it, if you don't really need it.

Also the best part (for me) is that the BIOS supports Opal2 drive encryption, so you could encrypt your drive without any performance overhead and without having to muck around with LUKS. You could have multiple OSes all installed on the same drive and not have to worry about using different encryption schemes for all of them.

Oh, and all of the device driver functionality is present in the mainline kernel, so there's no need to load a special kernel/modules/drivers like most other so-called "native" Linux laptops (like System76 or Framework). What this means is that you can happily run the latest bleeding edge mainline kernel or any random custom kernel of your choice, and not have to worry about loading extra modules or repos etc. This also means that you can expect pretty much every kernel/OS upgrade to go smoothly. And that has indeed been my experience over the past couple of years that I've owned this laptop for. When you consider that not even Windows users on Surface laptops can claim a 100% bug-free OS upgrade experience, it is a pretty incredible achievement, IMO.

So for me, the ThinkPad is the definitive Linux native laptop. At least, my Z13 is.

TBF they're only truly useful when hooked up to RAG imo. I'm honestly surprised that we haven't yet built a digital seal of authenticity for truth that can be used by AI agents + RAG to conceivably give the most accurate answer possible.

Scientists should be writing papers sealed digitally once they're peer reviewed and considered "truth", same thing with journalist/news articles - sealed once confirmed true or backed up by a solid source in the same way we trust root certificates.

But then again, especially when it comes to journalism, cropping photos, chopping quotes, etc all to misrepresent etc. Turns out we're all the bad actors; it's in our DNA. And tbf, many people when presented with hard evidence to the contrary of the opinion that they cling onto like a babe to a breast, just plug their ears and cover their eyes.

Okay so maybe there's no point seeking truth/factual correctness, our species doesn't want it 99% of the time, unless it affects them directly (eg people that shoot down public healthcare until they have an expensive illness themselves).
Yes ofc, but by any measure, Toronto faces fewer constraints on raw land than HK. HK’s total area, including water, is 1100 sq km. Greater Toronto is 7,123. Beyond HK boundaries there is only the sea, beyond Greater Toronto boundaries there is room for dozens or hundreds more Torontos. TBC I am not arguing for sprawl or for actually using all that land - as per your oringal pint, we should link infra with building - but simply that “lack of land” won’t be a binding constraint in any Canadian city for hundreds of years if ever.
